Overview

About 79 Stanhope Road South

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

79 Stanhope Road South is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Darlington (DL3 7SF). It has a recorded floor area of 222 m² (around 2390 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 222 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £387,000 is 33.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 21.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
